Pei Yuanhao kept holding me, with a serious expression on his face. After a long silence, he said: "Everyone, get out."

"Yes."

The imperial doctors, guards and palace maids who were kneeling on the ground kowtowed as if they were being amnesty and hurriedly left. Eunuch Yu stood up and looked at me, nodded as if he was relieved, and rushed out again.

I winked, then turned around and walked out.

The door is also closed.

He slowly sat on the head of the bed and hugged me a little tighter. The injuries on my body were pressed hard by him. The pain made me tremble, but he did not relax at all. He held me in his arms.

In my arms, I lowered my head gently and blew the familiar scent on my face. Everything was just like before.

In those memories that haven’t been broken yet.

"Your Majesty..."

I wanted to say something else, but he gently pressed the back of my hand with his hand: "It's okay."

"Don't kill..."

"It's okay."

"Really?"

"Well, it's okay."

The words "It's okay" rang faintly in my ears, blowing like a gentle wind. I actually calmed down, and my originally stiff body slowly relaxed and became soft in his arms.

"Don't worry, it's okay.

"Well..."

The feeling of sleepiness came over me again, and I slowly closed my eyes, but the warm embrace behind me never left. It just held me tightly, and the familiar body temperature penetrated the clothes and touched my heart.

The dream is no longer so scary, it seems that only the warm wind is blowing, soft and warm.

In such a dream, I slowly fell asleep.

This time I fell asleep, not fainted, so I was still clear. I could feel someone holding me all the time, with medicine on my arms, shoulders, and ankles. The cool feeling made me wince.

I was immediately hugged tighter.

Although my body didn’t feel much better, I felt really relaxed mentally.

When I woke up again, I don't know how much time had passed, but I had regained some strength. As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw the flickering candlelight in the room.

I was still a little blurry, but someone immediately came to the bedside, rolled my eyelids, picked up my wrist and examined it carefully for a while, and then heard a voice saying: "Your Majesty, she has been carried over.

It’s nothing serious.”

I frowned and struggled to open my eyes, only to see Eunuch Yu standing by the bed with a whisk in hand. He took a step forward with a joyful expression on his face: "Miss Qing, you're awake."

"Eunuch Jade...?"

"But - it scared us. It's okay." After saying that, he turned to the other side and said, "Your Majesty."

I slowly turned my head and saw Pei Yuanhao sitting in a chair not far from the bed. His livid face softened slightly at this time. He stood up and walked to the bed, slowly sat down and looked down.

Looking at me: "Are you feeling better?"

"..."

When people wake up, many memories are also clear. I suddenly remembered the scene on the execution ground.

Blood flying everywhere, the flash of swords, the chaotic crowd, everything came to mind again.

Everything is too late...

Everything is finished!

Thinking of this, my eyes turned slightly red. All the efforts I had made in the past might have been ruined the moment the steel knife fell. Unfortunately, I was not awake and was comforted by him with simple words in my dream.

Long time.

Looking at me, he frowned: "What are you thinking about?"

"Your Majesty, you killed all those people, right?"

"..."

He didn't answer, and I was speechless. I just gently pulled the quilt up a little, lowered my head and tried to bury my face in it.

Pei Yuanhao frowned and reached out to pull off the quilt. I bit my lower lip and turned my face away.

I turned my face to the inside, and he was sitting on the edge of the bed looking at me. The two of them seemed to be in a stalemate, but the atmosphere was not too tense. Eunuch Yu stood aside and watched carefully, without saying anything.

After a while, there was a sound of footsteps outside. They stopped when they reached the door, and he hurriedly walked out.

After a moment of silence, he turned around and walked in, whispering in Pei Yuanhao's ear: "Your Majesty, everything is ready."

"Yeah."

Prepare? Prepare for what?

I was still thinking secretly in my heart. He suddenly lifted the quilt with force, and a chill suddenly hit me. I turned my head to look at him in surprise, and saw him pulling a thin blanket and wrapping it around me. I didn't react yet.

Come over, he has already hugged me with a blanket.

"What are you doing?!"

I was so shocked that I even forgot to use honorifics when speaking.

He only glanced down at me, without saying a word, hugged me and walked out of the back door.

It was already dark at this time, and it was pitch black as soon as he went out. Only a glazed lamp in Eunuch Yu's hand gave out a faint light, illuminating the road ahead. He strode forward, and although he couldn't see anything next to him, there was a faint light.

When you hear the rustling sound, you should be accompanied by a guard.

What is he going to do?

Although I didn't know, I also understood that he didn't want others to know, so he went out the back door, so he kept his mouth shut. After a while, we walked out through a door at the back of the inner courtyard. The carriage was already hitched and waiting.

He immediately carried me into the car. As soon as the curtain was lowered, the carriage drove away from behind.

This carriage didn't look like it belonged to the emperor. The decorations were very simple, but it didn't run very slowly, so it was bumpy a bit. But he kept holding me in his arms, and apart from the bumps, he didn't get hurt at all.

"...Where are you going?"

I cautiously asked him, but he closed his eyes and said nothing. I looked at him for a while and couldn't get an answer, so I could only close my mouth and eyes.

As soon as I closed my eyes, I felt that he opened his eyes. Although I didn't see it, the feeling of being stared at by that kind of eyes was very familiar, and his breath was right on the top of my head, blowing on my face so close, and my broken hair was tight.

There was a numbing sensation against my skin, and I shrank slightly.

But she shrank into his arms.

His breathing seemed to pause, and then he heard his deep voice ringing in his ears: "Sleep for a while. There's still a way to go."

"..."

There was no sound in the carriage, leaving only the monotonous sound of the wheels hitting the stone slabs. In addition, the carriage was rocking, which indeed made people fall asleep easily. However, I must have slept too long these days, so I became more energetic.

Following his breathing and his heartbeat close to his ears, he walked all the way.

Finally, the carriage stopped.

With my eyes closed, my ears become more alert. I seem to hear the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves. Although there are trees in the state capital, they seem to be far less numerous than here. There are also some sounds of insects, which are more than what I usually hear.

They are much bigger.

When he opened his eyes, he also opened his eyes. The person outside the carriage had come over and raised the curtain: "Your Majesty."

He picked me up and walked away.

It was so dark outside that I couldn't see my fingers. Although the lanterns held by several guards around were not dark, they could not illuminate such a late night. And then I discovered that this was actually a wild woodland!

When I turned around, I saw the tall city gate standing behind me, like a giant beast in the night!

Why did he bring me here?

I was shocked, and looked at him with wide-open eyes in astonishment. He glanced to the side, and another carriage slowly drove out of the dark forest and stopped in front of us.

The guard walked over, opened the curtain, and pulled several people out from above.

All those people were blindfolded, their hands were tied behind their backs, and their hair was unkempt. When I saw this scene, my heart suddenly jumped.

He winked, and the guard stepped forward and pulled off the black cloth from those people's faces. Those people were still a little confused and looked around cautiously. When they saw us, they seemed to be surprised and shocked.

Speechless.

I already recognized that familiar face——

"Brother Mo!"

"Miss Qingying?"

He called me, and when he raised his eyes, he saw the person holding me. His face suddenly became ugly, and he gritted his teeth and cursed: "Emperor Dog, what do you want to do?"

When I heard this, my heart tightened, and I hurriedly opened my mouth to stop them, but I saw Pei Yuanhao raised his eyes lightly and glanced at the guards. They immediately walked over with their knives, but cut open the wounds on their wrists with one knife.

Beef tendon rope.

Mo Tieyi and the others were immediately stunned, touching their scarred wrists and looking at him in disbelief.
